Projects

Inspiration to address global challenges comes from all over the world. We work with partners to drive innovation in technology, products and infrastructure and strengthen people’s environmental, social and economic resilience.

Over the past 15 years we have supported partners throughout parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Together we’ve achieved a lot – increasing access to clean water, improved sanitation facilities, reliable energy resources and resilient built environments. But the scale of the challenges that we know engineering can make a difference to are greater than we currently are set up to tackle.

We have paused recruiting new partners or taking on new projects for the time being so that we can explore a wider range of opportunities that will enable us to take a greater stance on tackling global challenges and capitalise on the enormous potential our growing movement has to offer.

To date, we have provided over 205,400 hours of pro-bono engineering to projects around the world. You can find out more about some of these projects below.
